I am confident that I have coached many students to achieve good results. Read More

I have been teaching casually in some form or another for close to 10 years. While I have not taught at a professional level, I have been teaching in many separate fields: arts, academics, and athletics to name a few. My experiences in multidisciplinary teaching has helped me gain an appreciation for all types of learners and developed skills for connecting with and teaching students of various learning styles. The primary lesson I have taken away from my teaching experience is that the most improvement is found in students with the desire to engage. Read More

In doing so, this also creates an environment in which students will make many "mistakes" as they are lead to the answers, rather than spoon fed them. I strive to create a safe learning environment in which mistakes are treated as information to be used to make corrections, not as condemnations of the student. For brass instruments, my pedagogy is built upon the premise that we should be striving to produce an excellent sound as early as possible. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I love singing! I feel so lucky to have performed for some of the greatest singers of our time: Rene Elise Goldsberry (Broadway), Jennifer Rowley (Metropolitan Opera), Kristine Opolais (Met), Ailyn Perz (Met), and Lisette Oropesa (Met). I have also performed in venues and companies all over the world: Thailand, Hawaii, Italy, and Austria. My goal as a teacher is to share what I have learned from the best of the best and from around the globe to help ALL my students reach their full potential and thrive as a musician. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Hello! My name is Nic, and I'd like to be your student's next piano instructor! I'm a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Go Huskers!), although I hail from Minnesota originally. Over the last several years, I've been instructing students on piano and performing at outside engagements for clients. Additionally, I'm a Piano Associate at Von Maur who performs regularly throughout the week and weekends. Music has been such a big part of my life since I could first recall, and teaching others to play piano is a way for me to spread this passion outside of myself. Read More

I always want my students to have a very positive experience taking lessons and never to feel as if there is too much pressure put on them. Every student is different so I don't have a specific teaching formula. I always ensure that the student is moving at a comfortable pace for them while still being challenged and learning new things. I am always quick to acknowledge every small bit of progress that they make and focus on the positives rather than the negatives. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Slow, Slow, and SLOWER! Slow it down to perfect those tricky rhythms, articulations or slight gradations for those crescendos and decrescendo. To me slow practice is the best way! I still use it all the time in my own practicing! Don't just play slow though but incorporate dynamic shadings at the same time. Anyone can play loud and fast, but to play slow and pianissimo will give you a much more commanding technique. For a tricky rhythmic section I have a set routine I use. 1. Play it slow and Mezzo Forte 2. Play it slow and Pianissimo 3. Play it slow and with full dynamic gradations. Practice these steps first without pedal then with pedal. Repeat this process on a daily basis slowly building up the tempo until you have perfected the passage!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Well I really don't practice my scales and exercises anymore, as I spent so much time with them in my earlier years. I use to practice 8 hours a day during my college years and had time for all the scales, arpeggios and technical exercises I wanted. With less hours to practice now I have to take a much more efficient approach. Besides, technique is found in the music. I usually only practice 3 or 4 different pieces each week. I do a lot of slow and mezzo forte work without pedal to master any tricky passages. I alternate that slow work with up to tempo work as well so I can check my progress. I also use my practice rhythms to work more technical passages. Finally, when things are very close I start using a metronome to perfect my rhythm and tempo.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I take most pride in my own compositions and arrangement for piano. I have gone through many styles from classical to new age to rock to avantgarde to western swing! I have most recently come full circle and returned back to a classical foundation. It has a strong classical base but at the same time uses experimental piano techniques and yet manages to stay accessible. I am currently working on a large multi-movement work for piano called "Project Genesis" which I hope to start recording soon. It's sort of a concerto for piano without orchestra where the piano provides the accompaniment. It will require many overdubs to achieve my vision. It will certainly be an epic accomplishment for me when finished! I also write my own piano arrangements of orchestral works. Among them and most recently is my arrangement of the Adagietto from Mahler's 5th symphony, which I will be uploading to youtube soon
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have three main teachers who were the greatest influences upon my own piano studies. During my earliest college years at Mesa College I was studying with Ken Ard who really had me focus on the rudiments such as scales, arpeggios and progressions. He was always flexible in his approach with me and would basically help me with any style I wanted to work on. When I entered San Diego State University I began studying with Karen Follingstad. It was her who really opened up the passion in the music for me. She had focus first and foremost in my musical expression. My last and greatest influential teacher was George Katz. It is Mr. Katz who taught me about weight distribution but most importantly how to shape a phrase. He taught me all the finer things in interpretation which I use to this day!

I played the piano until the age of about 12 and then stopped completely. I would love to take lessons again and hopefully you have time to fit me in maybe once a week.

I am interested in in-home piano lessons for my 5 year old daughter and 2.5 year old son. I am not sure my son is ready but am interested in your opinion.
